No one is above the law, Not even Hillary
What does Martha Stewart, Scooter Libby, Edward Snowden, and General David Petraeus have in common? Each committed the same felonies that Hillary Clinton has allegedly committed. Martha Stewart was convicted and jailed for obstruction of justice and lying to federal investigators. Scooter Libby received 30 months in prison and a $250,000 fine for perjury, obstruction of justice, and lying to federal investigators. Edward Snowden is living in exile after he leaked classified government documents. General David Petraeus was fined $100,000 and faces losing his $220,000 annual retirement after he was convicted of mishandling classified information.

Hillary Clinton has allegedly done much more than all of those individuals combined. She has allegedly committed multiple felonies including Bribery, Acts Affecting a Personal Financial Interest, Conspiracy, Providing False Statements to Federal Investigators, Fraud, Attempt and Conspiracy to Commit Fraud, Obstruction of Justice, Destruction (Alteration or Falsification) of Records In Federal Investigation, Perjury (Including Documents signed under Penalties of Perjury), Disclosure of Confidential Information, Unauthorized Removal and Retention of Classified Documents or Material. Yet, she is running for president?

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was required by the Federal Records Act to have a government server, which by law automatically stores all messages to protect National Security. Instead, Hillary had a secret server installed in her home, compromising Top Secret and Classified information that were allegedly hacked into by foreign sources.

When Hillary stepped down as Secretary of State, she would have signed the State Department’s “Separation Statement” that she is “not retaining in my possession, custody, or control, documents” and that she understood “that Section 1001 of Title 18, United States Code, provides criminal penalties for such violations. Yet, Hillary “knowingly and willfully” concealed thousands of emails she had sent and received on a non-government email address — which she ran via a private server in her own home. On February 1, 2013, 55,000 documents were turned over. The penalty for storing classified emails on a non-government, unsecured email server is up to a year in prison and $100,000 fine per document. However, Hillary deleted approximately 32,000 emails, claiming them to be private. The punishment for knowingly concealing or destroying government email records is 3 years in prison per offense, a felony, which would prohibit her from holding public office, obviously including the presidency. In the Petraeus’ case, he pleaded guilty for storing classified materials on his unsecured, private email account and was punished for it.

Hillary claimed she never sent or received classified emails. However, the FBI has uncovered several Top Secret emails on her server. It is also alleged that Hillary used her Blackberry to conduct classified negotiations. Hillary has put herself above the law, telling lie after lie, as a mean to obstruct justice, while endangering our national security.

Why would Hillary risk committing such crimes? An investigative report from the New York Times revealed the Clintons were involved in secret deals of greed, bribery, and treason where Hillary used her Secretary of State position to approve the sale of American uranium deposits to an associate named Frank Guistra, who sold it to Russia in return for $100 million donation to the Clinton Foundation, which is being used by her campaign in a money laundering scheme. The Clinton Foundation amassed $250 million in foreign cash, according to the Wall Street Journal, which also reported that 60 companies, who lobbied Hillary as Secretary of State, also donated $26 million to the Clinton Foundation. Could those emails have exposed such crimes?

Could Hillary be concealing information about Benghazi, where four Americans were murdered and she and the Obama administration immediately blamed it on a You Tube Video, which she later admitted to be a terrorist attack? She refused dozens of requests for additional security from a report which revealed that Hillary held back Special Forces from assisting against the attack. Hillary and Obama were working together to cover up the fact that Al-Qaeda had attacked our embassy weeks before the 2012 election. Could those emails show the dereliction of duty from both Obama and Hillary that caused these Americans to be murdered?

Hillary has multiple committed felonies that would put the average American in prison for years for such acts of Bribery, Corruption, Obstruction of Justice, and Acts of Treason. No one is above the law, not even Hillary.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Hillary Clinton is trying to fool the people in order to become president. When she was asked if she was a socialist? She could not answer the question. She stated that she is a “progressive.” However, when asked, what is the difference between a progressive and a “socialist?” Again she could not articulate an answer the question. You would think Hillary would have learned how to answer the question since Democratic Party chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz fumbled the same question when asked. Yet, the Democrats can not answer such a question since many in their own party are admitted socialists, such as Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders. The Democrat party is also backed by the Communist Party USA.

So what exactly is the difference between Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism?

Capitalism is an economic system which allows private individuals or corporately owned companies to produce products, distribute, and compete for their own economic gain allowing the free market forces to determine the price of products or services based on the desires of the consumer. The economic system is based on the premise of separating the government from the activities of the private sector. Capitalists believe the free markets are efficient and the role of the government should be to regulate and protect the system without interference from the government.

Socialism is known as the first stage of transition from capitalism to communism as suggested through the theory of Karl Marx, who is known as the “Father of Communism.” It is believed that there are inequalities that exist in our society and that the profits of production and distribution by the capitalist should be shared with the community. The government, therefore, oversees the redistribution of wealth to the community and determines the investment, prices, and production levels. In Socialism, the government owns the means of production.

Communism is an advanced form of socialism where the government takes full control of managing all aspects of both the economy and society as outlined in the 1847 book by Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Each person in the community will have equal status with a rejection of both private property and personal profit. Distribution of goods and services are provided by the government according to the needs of the people. Property would be owned collectively where government control is centralized over the distribution of property to achieve the abolishment of both the class and the state. In the words of Karl Marx, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

In essence, in Capitalism, you have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Then you multiply your herd, and the economy grows. When you retire, you sell the cows and live on your income.

In Socialism, you have two cows the government takes one and gives it to a neighbor.

In Communism, you have two cows and government takes both and gives you some milk.

Do you want to stump a Democrat? Just ask them what the difference is between a Progressive Democrat and a Socialist. Then you can watch the Socialist/Communist Democrat squirm in their attempt to fool you by calling themselves a “progressive.”

Hillary and the Democrats may be trying to shrug off and laugh at the assertion of socialism. Their goal is to fool just enough people to win an election to transform America into a socialist government, to control the people.

The founding fathers warned us of such people when Thomas Jefferson once said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.”
